Correct. Although when we use floating point math, computers are not quite as procedural because they do not generate the same output consistently on different hardware. The questions are: Should we ensure that all clients simulate all of the lot's player inputs at the correct times (which...

I think we can all agree that that already is the primary goal of the project, and that we *are* making significant progress towards it. But even if you, or somebody else, or the whole world, thinks we should scrap the project, that doesn't mean we exactly have to. Personally, I like working...

Copy it to the folder where you are keeping Renderer.exe.

francot514: So by "Is it possible to get to a debug lot in EA-Land?", what you meant was "Is it possible to get to a debug lot in Project Dollhouse with EA-Land?" I haven't tried it yet, but I don't have Project Dollhouse on my laptop yet, so somebody else can probably try. -NoNetwork is a...

-NoNetwork does not work in New & Improved and up, because on those versions, the game simply hangs on the loading screen if you pass -NoNetwork. I'm not sure how difficult it would be to figure out what's causing that and produce a binary patch to fix it. It works in all other versions of TSO...

There's some MakeTrax stuff in ExpansionPack(5|6|7)/Sound/Sound.far in The Sims 1 that I've never noticed before. defaultsyms.txt maketrax.cfg reserved.xml sep5snds.txt sep5snds.xml sep5snds_userdata.txt SimsGlobals.txt BINARY [ RadioStationZydeco ; Kill any music track currently...

Okay, I found a specific counterexample to my "the argument to seqgroup_kill is an imm8 for the object ID" theory: BINARY [ station_rave loadb v1 #1 seqgroup_kill #5 set_loop loadl v1 #1588 smart_setlist v1 smart_choose v1 smart_setlist v1...

What's interesting is that the seqgroup_kill instruction has a 1-byte operand, not 4 bytes. The question is, is this enough space to specify an object ID as an immediate constant? (Not a variable that holds a constant, but the constant itself, since it looks like "Instance" is a constant—it's...

Yes, when I wrote that, it was after seeing the generic_fm_smartlists function defined in SoundData/turkey.txt: ; Heeeeeere's a useful one. v1 and v2 are female and male hitlist ID's, respectively ; This track chooses the smartlist based on gender, picks a patch from that smartlist, ; plays...

Yeah, even I don't know what a sequence group is. I talked with Afr0 yesterday. We determined that "sound pressure level" means attenuation per distance (or, as some kind of function of distance that's not necessarily linear). it In other words, if you move the camera farther away from the...

Actually, since August, I've been talking to Blayer about how I (or we) could add new functionality to TSO-SE. Here's our mock-up for the server administration page: http://niotso.org/files/administration.html

francot514: TSO-SE is attempting to reverse-engineer the game's original protocol: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_emulator PD client/server is attempting to rewrite the game's code from scratch; this way we can easily add new features to the game and make the game more modern...

http://www.ps2onlinegaming.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=864 I actually remember when I was 12 and was interested in burning PS2 homebrew and playing it using Swap Magic. Also games... I remember using a DNAS patch tool to get Killzone to work online. Back then I didn't realize that it...

I stopped working on the Niotso client/server in 2013 when I changed my focus to TSO-SE. TSO-SE is documented here: http://wiki.niotso.org/Maxis_Protocol I originally wrote this in the readme for TSO-SE: But now that we've gotten into Select-A-Sim, Create-A-Sim, and the map view, and we've...

Before DLC, there were expansion packs...

When I get bored, I do work on TSO-SE in my free time.

No, sorry, I said maybe one day I'd have enough knowledge to write a bloom shader, water renderer, and weather effects, but I didn't say I have time to join the Project Dollhouse team right now. I have to go back to studying for my summer class and my signal processing project.

TCP makes reliably communicating streams of bytes over the internet as reliable and easy as doing it to your hard drive. What are you having trouble with? Are you having trouble finding example code?

Support for polyamorous relationships would be nice.
